Coastal Maine Marine Ecology

Coastal Maine is a wonderful place to investigate marine ecology with kelp and barnacle crowded coastal cliffs, tide pools packed with fascinating marine invertebrates and an abundance of coastal and marine vertebrates including bald eagles, porpoises and seals.

For the first time in a decade of offering this course, we caught lobsters in the intertidal waters. This one looks like he is having a bad day “NO, not the pot, please not tha!” (No worries, this was National Park waters, so all the critters went back where we found them.)
